Professional document translation in Boston and abroad
There’s a wide range of quality when it comes to document translation. In worst-case scenarios, you read a website or a brochure that is choppy, awkward or downright nonsensical. This is such obviously bad work, prospects immediately negate it and bounce elsewhere. You are beyond that.
But, perhaps the scariest product of all for a well-meaning and successful business requiring linguistic services is the translation middle ground. That’s where the translated words are “almost right” but there are a few awkward sentences, several close-but-not-quite-right word choices, and unknowing cultural zings. As a client, you can’t help but be a little embarrassed that the company is promoting themselves with something less than the best – and they don’t even realize it. This is not the impression you want to make.
Best-case versions of professional translation are so impeccably translated that you would never know they weren’t original material. CCA specializes in the latter. In addition to working with certified and experienced translators, we only contract with native speakers to translate materials into the specific target languages. This way, we guarantee the finished work is word perfect, with exactly the right culturally relevant nuances to resonate with your target audience.
Our team translates:
- Training materials
- Corporate communications
- Speeches and transcripts
- Government documents
- Technical manuals
- Marketing brochures
- Presentations
- Any other types of documentation
We’re also happy to help you convert static website copy into your target audience’s native tongue to help you reach a more global audience. Once the materials are ready, our translation team can accompany or meet you at your destination in order to organize and hand out the materials as needed and in accordance with your itinerary. This ensures the right materials are disseminated in a timely fashion – and without confusion or delay.
All of your documents and translation projects will work their way through a translation, editing, and proofreading process, resulting in accurate and error-free wording, with the appropriate energy, emotion, tone and nuance required.
Contact CCA to learn more about our professional translation services. Don’t forget to ask about our competitively priced language services packages. CCA also provides rush services upon request.
Hire conference level interpreters that interpret culture as well as language
There are so many ways American business professionals miss the mark when working with multinational professionals. Our culture’s direct and often casual approach to business is simply not the way things are done in most other countries. A certain phrase or choice of words that are acceptable here can have negative cultural ramifications for a sensitive target audience. In order for your brand to shine, you must work with a language services provider who is in the business of interpreting cultures as well as languages.
The team here at CCA has impeccable credentials. In addition to having degrees or certifications from some of the world’s most renowned, accredited academic institutions, we require hundreds of hours of conference-level interpreting experience as well as memberships and/or certification with leading, industry organizations across the globe.
Our interpreters routinely provide their services to international organizations such as the United Nations family of agencies, presidential and ministerial meetings, and at events such as G-8/G-20 summits and the Olympic games. We assure you that their work will only solidify your multinational business relationships and help you facilitate your position at the top of the global market.
Contact Chang-Castillo and Associates to schedule a consultation. We’ll help you determine which style of interpreting will work best at each event on your itinerary, and we’re also happy to educate your team in regards to culturally appropriate (or inappropriate) business etiquette for your particular audience.
We also provide teleconferencing and professional equipment rental
Do you have a key client who is unable to attend your Boston-area conference? Are you interested in furthering your connection with a lead prospect you met there? Teleconferencing is an effective way to foster a more personal and tangible relationship with clients and prospects, even when they’re thousands of miles or continents away.
Using our innovative telephonic platform, compatible with the presentation software of your choice, our translators and/or interpreters can work with you to facilitate a satisfying teleconference experience.
Our professional simultaneous interpretation equipment rentals are available as well, ranging from UN-style soundproof booths to portable transmitters and headsets that allow you to put together tours or more interactive presentations. All of our equipment rentals come with conference technicians and complete A/V support so you can trust the experience will remain streamlined and high-quality, free of interference or disruptive technical glitches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between interpretation and translation?
Translation converts written text from one language to another, while interpretation involves converting spoken language in real-time. A translator works with documents such as contracts, certificates, and corporate communications. An interpreter facilitates live conversations at conferences, legal proceedings, or medical appointments. At CCA, we specialize in both—our firm is uniquely owned and operated by professional interpreters and translators who understand the nuances of each discipline.
How much do translation services cost in Boston?
Translation costs vary based on document complexity, language pair, turnaround time, and certification requirements. Unlike commodity translation services that advertise per-word rates, CCA provides custom quotes tailored to your specific project. Our conference-level linguists and rigorous quality process reflect our “Platinum Standard” approach—we focus on accuracy and expertise rather than competing on price alone. Contact us for a detailed quote within 24 hours.
How long does professional translation take?
Standard document translation typically takes 2-5 business days depending on length and complexity. Certified translations for immigration documents often complete within 24-48 hours. Conference interpretation requires advance scheduling to secure interpreters with relevant subject matter expertise. Rush services are available for urgent projects. We recommend contacting us as early as possible to ensure availability of linguists who specialize in your industry and language needs.
What documents can you translate?
We translate virtually any document type including birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts, passports, legal contracts, corporate communications, training materials, medical records, financial statements, and immigration paperwork. Our translators are native speakers with subject matter expertise in legal, medical, technical, and business fields. All certified translations include a signed certification statement confirming accuracy.
Are your translations accepted by USCIS?
Yes. Our certified translations meet all USCIS requirements and are accepted for immigration applications, visa petitions, green card applications, and citizenship proceedings. Each certified translation includes a signed statement attesting to the translator’s competence and the translation’s accuracy, as required by USCIS guidelines. The translator is not related to the applicant, fulfilling federal requirements.

CCA provides translation and interpretation services in over 100 languages.
